Railfreak78 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Hey everyone this here is going to be my large scale project diving in with both feet. I want this to be really detailed and very realistic when it is done. I think it is 1/16th compared to my 1/24 and my 1/18 metal replicas. I got this kit free years ago from an ex roommate and it had several layers of paint on it. I am missing one stock tire and wheel ( Help needed if someone has one ) and missing windows minus the rear. ( I think I can make them ) Anyway this is a long term and if you guys have cars this size I would like to see ideas for details like engine bays and such. Next pics are after the dunk tank. Enjoy!

highway Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Brian, you are right, that appears to be a 1/16 scale. By your pictures, I would guess it is the 1/16 scale AMT 1978 Corvette. I can't wait to see you save this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Railfreak78 Posted July 10, 2010 Author Share Posted July 10, 2010 So here it is after the dunk tank and some scrubbing with a tooth brush. Outside of a little staining from the yellow I am down to the molded plastic. Grey-ish white and molded black. Almost a Brand new canvas. I am really excited about this project.

highway Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Thanks Highway! No problem! After looking at the pics of the stripped body, it still looks like the AMT kit. I had the last reissue of it in the early 90s, and most everything looks identical. I think you may have an earlier issue than that, because I don't really remember any black molded parts in mine, but of course that was 20 years ago, and many brain cells have went on vacation since then!
